Anthony's 1/48th scale HMS Blandford [COMPLETED BUILD]

[DocBlake]

Congratulations, Anthony. Well done!

VERY well done Anthony - I am sure you are proud of it. You added more details than mine and it really stands out and makes your model more complete and satisfying to look at and enjoy.
I will be adding this to the Gallery Showcase today.

Anthony, I also agreed with you about the rope color. The tan looks more appropriate. Great work, I like it.

i have been getting some tools and things together for my HMS blandford build , i had the plans printed at my local kinko's and i am trying to source some wood , looking at the plans , and reading some of the build logs i know that i need to check the measurements of the prints, so my first question is , how?
i had the base printed on 11 x 17 paper and i found some measurements in a build log but mine aren't the same , how do i know what is right?

Hallo Anthony alias @Anthony1

i see you have fitted differet ends to the hatches - very nice

 

[richardjjs]

Super nice treenailing. I assume that you must have soaked the toothpicks in maybe black paint or India ink?

dark oak die would be best - it would soak in
